CABINET-CASE FOR MERCHANDISE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 673,755, dated May '7, 1901. Application filed February 23, 1899. Serial No. 706,626. (No model.)

To all whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT R. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erwin, in the county of Unicoi and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Case or Cabinet for the Storage of Small Articles of Merchandise, of which the following is a specification.

My in vention relates to an improved drawercase for holding bolts and screws and other small articles, the objects being to provide a case with as great a capacity as possible, considering the space occupied, and to provide drawers of varying sizes that are most suitable for diiferent goods or difierent sizes of the same class of goods, and a case with drawers that when removed from the case can be returned only to the proper place and a case that will admit of longer drawers in proportion to the size of case than is possible with other cases. I attain these objects by the construction as shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a perspective View, and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view, of my improved case.

A suitable base A has a standard B, on which the body of the case is suspended so it can revolve.

The frame of the case is divided by means of vertical partitions G into any desired number of tiers or sections, in each of which are formed by horizontal partitions D compartments for drawers placed over each other to any desired number. The drawers in each section are of the same width, but of varying depth, as shown in 1; but each section of drawers is a different width from the other. By this arrangement it is possible to make a case with a large number of drawers all of a diiterent size.

In Fig. 2 I show the drawers 1, 2, 3, 4:, 5, 6, 7, and 8 differing in size. The drawersS and 5, inserted in the two opposite sides E and F, extend jointly across the case, and the drawers 3 and 6, inserted in the sides G and H at right angles to the sides E and F, extend at their inner ends alongside the drawers 8 and 5, forming a compact arrangement of drawers differing in size.

What I claim is- 1. A case having vertical partitions spaced apart varying widths and horizontal partitions spaced apart varying distances providing vertical tiers of drawer-compartments, the compartments of each tier being of the same width but varyingin height and the compartments of the different tiers varying in width and the drawers fitted to their respective compartments, substantially as set forth.

2. The herein-described cabinet or case comprising the vertical partitions spaced apart varying distances, providing vertical tiers of drawer-compartments opening out of its various sides, the compartments of each tier being of the same width but varying in height and the compartments of the different tiers varying in Width and the drawers insorted in and fitted to their respective compartments, the drawers inserted in two opposite sides extending across the case and the drawers'inserted in the two sides at right angles to said first sides extending at their inner ends alongside the first two drawers substantially as set forth.

ALBERT R. BROWN.
